I have always been perplexed by the political relationship between the Democrat Party and the Black Community.
I view this relationship as being similar to that of an abusive boyfriend who punches his girlfriend in her face, throws her down the stairs and then walks over her twitching carcass, but in this relationship he can remain comfortable in the knowledge that she will never leave him and in the end find everyway possible to blame herself, since he has convinced her she has nowhere else to go and as another election approaches the beloved boyfriend is knocking on Black Communitys door singing sweet nothings all the while cracking his knuckles, palming his fists and checking his shoes before the door opens.
Democratic National Chairman Howard Dean claimed recently that The Democratic Party was the party of opportunity for people of color, but isnt this hypocritical coming from a former Governor who in his 12 years could not find one competent Black in the State of Vermont to serve in any inner cabinet position or even better yet the Chairmanship that he now holds was in fact stolen from Maynard Jackson by his fellow liberals, who punched him in the face, threw him down the stairs and marched Terry McAuliffe over his twitching carcass. They felt that Jackson had gotten too uppity in thinking that 90% of the Black Vote for Al Gore in 2000 would transpire into him leading the Democrat party and made a clear example of Jackson as a warning to other Blacks who dare think the same way. Maynard Jackson would eventually drop dead in Reagan National Airport after taking yet another flight that brought him to D.C. for yet another fight with the partys leadership over its treatment of Blacks. The list of victims goes on and on at a local, state and national level.
Ultra-liberal Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi made an example of Ford after he thought he could become minority leader following the 2004 elections, older members of the CBC even berated Ford for his foolhardy stunt as he laid there twitching while Pelosi and her allies walked over his carcass.
One would think that in a Democrat state like Maryland that a Black Democrat Senatorial Candidate would be assured, however even with a resume as impressive as Kweisi Mfumes happens to be it was still was not enough to convince White Democrats to join Blacks in voting for him. Democrats for all their talk about being progressive and diverse would not ever consider pulling the lever for a Blackman for Senate.
Mfume even chided the state party for the lack of diversity on the ticket stating that the ticket looked more like one from 1956 than 2006. Mr. Dean later claimed that Mfumes statement was not indicative of the party, but what did Mfume expect? I mean the Democrat establishment at the state and national level never took his candidacy seriously and never felt threaten by Mfume and a few rouge Black Voters because in the end they are still going to vote Democrat no matter who the candidate is. This is the same state party that refused to even consider a Black for Lt. Governor in 2002 in a state full of Blacks, so in the end, Mfume learned his lesson the hard way, twitching face down at the bottom of the stairs with their choice of Ben Cardin being marched over his carcass and Steny Hoyers recent comments concerning Republican Senatorial Candidate Michael Steele(who happens to be Black) to a mostly Black crowd was really a warning to remind Black Voters in Maryland that they are expected to vote for the Maryland Democratic Party choice and no discontent will be tolerated. That Mr. Mfume may have indeed been the choice of Black Voters, but Blacks are seen as nothing more than come alongs to get alongs whose votes are already cast long before Election Day, while the real power resides with the like Dean, Hoyer and Cardin.
For Blacks Voters nationwide its political monkey time, as the shiny objects of the Clintons, Barack Obama and Jesse Jackson will be bussed, but Black Democrats will be in need of smell salts, aspirin and band-aids once the election is over. Democrats Black and voters will once again be relegated to the bottom of the stairs in the Democrat Party House and the like of Dean, Hoyer, Pelosi, Reid and Cardin will be responsible again.
Excellent post, Kevin.. Thank you for speaking out against the Party of Abuse once again.
Good article.
Thank you for your kind comment.
Good job sir.
Bump.
I believe that Hillary will use him as a VP to lock up the Black Vote.
Thank you and Freepers are free to use and post this article as they see fit on their blogs and websites.
Thanks.
Better, yet, when a Black person finally ran for and won a statewide office in Dean's Vermont... it was a Republican !
Randy Brock, VT State Auditor (2005-
Good forecast. She very well might.
Bingo!
I joined our local republican women's club last night and there were seven black women there also joining. Two sat at the table I was at and they were absolutely wonderful. We laughed and talked and put down Dims. One (the mother) is a minister and the other was her 20-something daughter. I asked if she got any grief about being a Republican. She said yes, that some of her parishioners could not believe she was an R and when they asked why, she responds "What have the Democrats done for you". I gave her a big ol hug! The daughter told me she was so excited to be there and was a very proud Republican. It felt great to join this group here in the Heart of Dixie and meet these wonderful (and in my opinion brave) women.
With Bill Richardson as her SOS to lock up the Hispanic Vote.
I wish I could have been there to meet everyone.
You left out the old "future black Democrat presidential nominee Jesse Jackson!",
"future black Democrat presidential nominee Doug Wilder!",
and (now) "future black Democrat presidential nominee Barrack Obama!" trick...
That's a good one!
I'll take you up on that!
I am limited to 750 words max and I wanted to cover that too.
Thanks.
why?...
